SAFFGLIA
was founded by Mr Segun Adeleye, a
journalist/media entrepreneur, author and operator of WorldStage Newsonline (www.worldstagegroup.com) to carry out activities and projects that will encourage/compel
governments across Africa to embrace good leadership in order to uplift the
standard of living of the people.

The
foundation was officially inaugurated on March 10, 2016 with the inaugural
lecture delivered by the Honourable Minister of Information, Culture and
Tourism, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

According
to Adeleye, “Looking into history at the tragedy of Africa, it’s sensible to
say that the exploits of leaders like Dr. Nelson Mandela and few others should
be adequate to guide the current and future leaders on the path to progressive
leadership, but reality still shows a trend of inadequate understanding of the
essence of leadership in many African countries.

“Africa will be better off when people continue to speak out
and remind those privileged to be at the helm of affairs that we cannot go far
if our destiny is left to be decided by others.”
